These are the gifts I made for Kerry, the doll is a Rosalie Quinlan pattern called "Elizabeth" made one for myself at the same time, the wallhanging is called "A Little Shabby" by Cinderberry Stitches and I also made the matching little cushions, might have to make them for myself as well. Nearly forgot the christmas fat 1/4 and button.

These are a piccies of my swap pressies from Razzyrose. First is the christmas fq and button, then the blackboard wallhanging with Bronwyn Hayes stitcheries, the doll is a Mum's Moment pattern called "Sophie" and last but not least a diary beautifully covered, all of these gifts will be put to very good use, thanks very much Razzy.

This is what the best dressed washing machines are wearing this year..... lol..... one is mine and the other is my Mum's ( dolly). In 2006 I was in a friendship block swap, I was going to make a quilt with them but figured one could only have so many quilts and I didn't really need another so then decided to make them into covers for our washing machines instead and I must say that I'm very pleased I did, they look great and make the laundry a bit more cheery. I haven't decided yet on what I will use the other blocks ( 4 left ) for but will work that out later.
